I got an estimate from Aamco for $336 for labor alone. But I was wondering what I could expect the parts to cost to get a better idea of what the total might be. I know each case is different, but if you guys could throw me some numbers to give me an idea, I would appreciate it. And also, I plan on putting just a stock clutch in, how much HP can they handle? I dont have a lot done to the car, but I would eventually like to put in cams, ECU, header... mostly bolt on stuff. And I wont be drag racing, just autocross. It should handle it dont ya think? Thanks again!!

Redman, is that for all the gears, or just everythning related to 5th gear?

 

[redman007]

The rebuild consists of replacing all the syncros (gears) and all parts that would normally wear on the tranny. So all in all, the rebuilt tranny is no different than a new one except the price. Just like an Altenator or starter. Only some parts wear out so you really don't need "NEW" stuff! Nissan dealers call it "REMANUFACTURED". Same **** though, REBUILT! save the scratch and do it through AAMCO and not the parasitic dealers. Plus aamco does only trannies 24-7 so who does it better than them? Don't get me wrong ,I love the nissan cars, but their service sucks! I've noticed that a G20 with the same engine gets treated with so much more enthusiasm and respect due to the extra $ spent. Money talks , bullshit walks! CREAM, get tha money dollar, dollar bill yall!

 

[redman007]

Dude , I never had the 5 th gear pop out problem thank god.I think it was cause I had the short throw shift and cut it aslow as possible since they came out, but I heard that was due to a bent shift fork maybe from resting the hand on the shifter. If it is due to the shift fork wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just get a new or used shift fork thatisn't bent? what do you guys think about this ? why do you need a new tranny? help him out guys cause this job is chaching ,big moola!

Well, it could be from a bent shift fork, but I dont really think so because I never got into the habit of resting my hand on the shifter while I drove. I think the only way to know is to open the tranny up. And why do all the syncros if only 5th is giving me problems? I am concerned about my first gear syncro however, I have some problems getting it into first when I slow down but dont come to a complete stop. And maybe, I'll have the whole trans cryogeniclly treated and Swain coated!!! Or maybe I'm just full of it!

 

[Jaketips42]

I'll sell you my 93 tranny with 110k miles on it. No 5th gear pop out. Shifts smooth too.

 

[jayac]

Thanks but no thanks. I would feel more at ease knowing its all new. Besides, just because its not popping out now doesnt mean it wont soon. My didnt start till the 118k mile mark.

 

[Jaketips42]

Thats wierd. Looks like I got lucky with my 91 engine and trans having 132k. No probs, knock on wood. I love my baby

 

[redman007]

[Jaketips42]

OK OK. So does any one in here wanna buy a tranny from a 93 SE-R??? Or how bout a 91 that is damaged on the front left with no engine. Or maybe even a 93 parts SR20? I am moving and need to get rid of some stuff.
